No critique from me but she is very pretty! Def looks to have some welsh in there.

It's hard to critique her from those photos. She's got such a cute face though!

I'd say she's definitely got a lot of welsh in her but I'm not sure if she's crossed with anything...if she is then I haven't got a clue because all I can see is the welsh!
Sorry for being so unhelpful!

i would say welsh sec c if she stands at 13.2

She looks like a traditional cob mare at my yard she's lovely

 

[beating_hooves]

I can't see any welsh

I'd agree with shandy84 and say she looks more like a traditional.

She's beautiful but def looks more traditional

Im really confused. Traditional is a type, right, and NOT a breed?

She could have some Dales in her - she is probably a heinz 57 though.

Hard to tell from those photos, but she looks like a section C to me. In fact I have one quite similar.

(very pretty mare btw)

I can see why people are saying welsh but think she must be crossed with something a little more thick set and 'hairy' she looks like shes probably a heinz pony with some welsh and alot of traditional cob bred into her along the way.

True but people often see them as a breed as they have their own show classes, so therefore they are bred for conformation, amount of bone, amount of feathers/mane etc.
So they breed traditional cob with traditional cob, it doesn't matter what actual breed they are.
So a lot of traditionals will have loads of different breeds in them so they are referred to as a traditional cob. They are very close to being a breed but yes you're right they are a type

Its quite hard to explain really.
